Arrival OF the Communications and the
Death Warrants.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE communication
papers for Samuel Fielden and Michael
Schwab arrived this morning. Robert Og-
lesby, the son and private secretary of the
Governor, was entrusted with them last
night as soon as the decision was rendered
He was charged by his father to take the
first train for Chicago an place them i'm the
hnnls of Sheriff Matson.
The train bearing the important documents
that say Fielden aud Schwsb shall live left
spring field at o o'c'ock last night. Young
Mr.. Oglesby who brought the papers, talkei
freely of the case and has the greatest res
pect for the wisdom of his fathers decision.
al think the fact of Lngg's tragic death
by means of Illuminating cap" said he,
ahad great deal to do with the Governors
decision. 1t destroyed in his mind the fiction
about the police having secreted the four
bombs found in his cell OH Sunday. Having
done that the Governor must have had the
very worst opinion regarding the ringleaders
in the band. He must have thought that
IL Lingg could contemplate flowing the Jail
and everybody in it to pieces, himself along
with the rest, the others could not be much
better. The evidence showed that they had
all been associated in the same plots, and this
evident intention which Lingg must have
had seemed moth ing more than carrying out
the designs of the plotters when they were
breathing free air."
While Mr.. Oglesby was conversing with
the reporter Mr.. Van Zandt sat opposite, his
chin on his chest and his mind engaged in
deep study. Raising his head shortly, he
recognized the reporter rs the one he had
met on his journey to Springfield when his
breast was so full of hope for the condemned
men. A feeble smile PLAYED FIR an instant
around his lips, aud then tie unutterably
sal expression on the poor mans face re-
turned. IL there Is q heart-broken family in
Chicago to-day it is that of Mr.. Van Zandt.
II don't know what shall do" he said,
sadly. "This trouble weighs me down. nut
my condition is nothing beside that OF my
daughter. Obi wish were i'm Chicago To-
night would not be surprised when / ar
rive there in the morning to learn that Nina
Is dead. She has worked with her whole
heart and soul for those men. and fear the
consequences will be dangerous to her mind
It was for her alone that August Spies per-
aitted bis name to bc sent in for Executive
clemency. He often told me that he wouldnt
care il it was not for Nina. He also feared
the effect of disappointment would have on
her."
Mr.. Van Zandt looks ten years older than
he did q week ago. He has not decided
whether he will take his daughter on a visit
10 some place where her mind will see moth
ing to remind her of the sad past or whether
he will remain here in Chocago.
When the train rolled past Twenty-second
street this morning, it was boarded by Dep
uty Sheriff Gleason, who had been sent to
meet Mr.. Oglesby. Behind the deputy were
a number of detectives, who also got on the
train and guarded the doors leading into the
ooach.
Arriving at the Union depot, the party
got Off and took carriage direct TO She, liz
Matson's Office. Mr.. OgIesby had only The
two official documents hearing the State seal
and announcing to the Sheriff that Fielden
and Schwab should not hang, but be impris-
rned for life instead, and his personal lsster
II introduction to Sheriff Matson. Having
delivered them, he prepared to return at
once to Springfield, not desiring to remain In
Chicago until the tragedy at the Jail.
